I'm a very technology-focused individual, and yet, I only have a passing awareness of what LTE is or why I should care about it. I'm happy enough with 3G as-is, and I'd actually want faster mobile processors before I wanted more bandwidth.

If I'm unfamiliar and ambivalent, I really doubt the public at large is going to even notice.

I'm in the same boat. EDGE speeds were painfully slow, but 3G is more than good enough.

Unless you're streaming from Netflix or downloading large files, I don't think LTE will make much of a difference to the vast majority of consumers.

Netflix streams pretty well over 3G, at least to an iPhone (I would think the quality would be more noticeably ugly on an iPad).

I'm with you. I think the main people who are all over LTE are those that want to replace their hard lines with cell. The problem is that the carriers are going to cap and charge big money for LTE so using it as a primary connection is likely not going to be cost effective.
